Housecall Pro runs the job and takes the payment. What about everything around it?

Housecall Pro is field service management software for home service and trades businesses, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and similar work, covering scheduling, dispatching, invoicing, built-in payment processing, and customer communication tools like automated review requests. It's a genuinely full platform for day-to-day field operations. It gets thinner the moment Housecall Pro's data needs to reach a payroll system with its own commission rules, a second location's account, or a marketing tool tracking something Housecall Pro doesn't. We build the connections that get Housecall Pro's data where it needs to go, and pull outside data back in.

What We Build on Top of Housecall Pro

If your business runs payroll through Gusto, ADP, or a system with comp rules Housecall Pro's own payroll feature doesn't model, commission splits, piece-rate pay, multi-location overtime, we build the feed from completed jobs and technician hours into the payroll system you actually use.

Like most field service tools, a lot of franchises run a separate Housecall Pro account per location. We pull job and revenue data from each through the API into one combined view, instead of someone logging into every account and combining the numbers by hand.

Review requests and reputation data can route into whatever marketing or reporting tool actually tracks it, beyond what Housecall Pro's own automated review request feature sends out on its own.

Job and invoice data can feed a separate inventory or supplier system too, so the cost side of a job reflects what parts and materials actually went into it, not just what Housecall Pro's own line items capture.

A Real-World Scenario: Multi-Technician Plumbing Company

Eight technicians, Housecall Pro for jobs and invoicing, payroll run separately with a commission structure Housecall Pro doesn't model.

Before

Every two weeks, the office manager exports a job list from Housecall Pro, cross-references which jobs each technician completed, manually calculates commission using the company's actual split rules, and re-enters the totals into the payroll system by hand. A missed job on the export means a technician gets shorted on their check.

After

Completed jobs flow from Housecall Pro into the payroll system automatically, already matched to the right technician with commission calculated using the company's real rules. Payroll day becomes a review, not a two-hour reconciliation project.

Running Housecall Pro and still exporting job data to make payroll or reporting work?

Tell us what's not connecting automatically right now, payroll, another location, a marketing tool, anything. We'll check what the Housecall Pro API can realistically move. And if Housecall Pro isn't actually where the manual work is piling up, that's fine too, we automate whatever's manual in your business, not just the field service software.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Housecall Pro?+
Housecall Pro is field service management software for home service and trades businesses: scheduling, dispatching, invoicing, built-in payment processing, and automated customer communication like review requests and appointment reminders, all in one platform.
How much does Housecall Pro cost?+
Housecall Pro sells tiered monthly plans that scale with team size and which features you turn on, like advanced reporting or marketing tools. Pricing changes periodically, so check Housecall Pro's own pricing page for a current number rather than one that might already be out of date.
Is there a Housecall Pro mobile app?+
Yes. The Housecall Pro app runs on iOS and Android, used by technicians in the field to see their schedule, update job status, and take payment on site, alongside a separate consumer-facing app customers use to book and track service.
Does Housecall Pro have an API?+
Yes. Housecall Pro has a documented API for pulling job, customer, and invoice data out and pushing updates back in, which is what makes custom integration work, like payroll feeds or multi-location reporting, possible.
How is Housecall Pro different from ServiceTitan?+
The core difference is scale. Housecall Pro is built to be approachable for a smaller team to set up and run on their own, while ServiceTitan is built for larger, often multi-location operations and comes with a heavier implementation process. Which one fits better usually comes down to how big the operation is and how much complexity it actually needs, not which one lists more features on a page. Whichever one your business already runs, that's the one we build on top of.
Does Housecall Pro handle payroll?+
Housecall Pro has its own built-in payroll feature for straightforward pay structures. If your business runs commission splits, piece-rate pay, or multi-location rules that don't fit that model, a dedicated payroll system with a custom data feed from Housecall Pro usually works better, and that feed is exactly the kind of thing we build.
